Activity 1:

1.) Cleaning her living space and maintaining the tidyness of the surroundings.
2.) Doing actions around the kitchen, per se cooking a meal or preparing food.
3.) Exercising may be of challenge depending on what she wants to get done.
4.) Simply roaming around her surroundings or her house, it'll be time consuming.
5.) Getting in and out of certain places, for example getting up from the bed.
6.) Changing one's clothes may also be of difficulty especially when on crutches.
7.) Balancing or Proper posture is also a factor to be considered, one may fall
over.
8.) Hygiene wise, taking a bath or shower may be hard due to limited movement.
9.) Or generally, run errands or do tasks that the person may do.

Brainstorming Idea:
1.) Generally, my friend would need help from her movement. With that said, her
actions would be limited, so the idea I have came up with is
a crutch that can act as your leg for the time being. It will support your leg,
elevating it to be placed on top of the cushioned leg-crutch, then you
move as you would do so normally.

2.) So the design would be a rod extending from the behind of your upper leg,
having a seat like part where you can rest your leg on with support going down.
It would be of comfort, ofcourse so that the user will be comfortable, with that
said even if you had crutches you could still move your legs in the slightest,
the crutch itself will become the temporary limb to be used.

3.) Cushioned support with sturdy metal parts but at the same time, some parts are
flexibly movable in certain places where joints should be so that it adjusts
to the individual's legs.

4.) She would use it as a wearable tool to support her leg wherein it acts as the
limb as the leg itself heals from what ever happened.
